I don't know how those strange values were chosen, but I can assure you 
that we're not making use of them :-)

You can find that information in the BeBook, too, but I'll explain it 
for you here as well: the window type is a fixed combination from the 
window's look and feel.
Internally, the app_server only cares about the look and feel; the 
BWindow class will decompose the type into look and feel values for the 
app_server.
For example, the B_DOCUMENT_WINDOW refers to the combination of 
B_NORMAL_WINDOW_FEEL and B_DOCUMENT_WINDOW_LOOK.
